Top 5 was hard.
- Loop 720 - because 2a is life
- Wildwood Gnomad - #WoodIsGood
- Layer Infinity Kasm - amazing responsive 5a throw
- OneDrop Reboot - favorite unresponsive, and I should probably have one on the list
- Duncan Butterfly - my man purse throw. I have the psychedelic in my work bag too
Honorable mentions:
- YYF Confusion
- Spinworthy x MK1 RBC
Current top five:
Static - Sudo
Static - Wave
One Drop/ Markmont - Markmont FRS P2
Heaven Sent - Creep
RSO/ Doc Pop - The End Pt. 2
These ones have been heavy in rotation lately: Brass Valhalla, Hades, Linear, Equanimity, and the ol mate senny Ashigaru with a OD 10 ball in it. I like purple!
Waiting for my Tsunami but the LLT will definitely be cracking the top 5. what a stupid yoyo.

Is that last one a Saturday Market? Either way it’s one of the coolest “tie-dye” looking acid washes I’ve ever seen
Wooo I’m a lefty too, but yes, that’s a Saturday market One Drops x Monkey Finger Collab, there’s only 30 done by grant I believe. It’s one of my all time favorite playing and looking throws.
All SM look good, but some just come out better than others and this is one of them, perfection
I wish you could see how wonderful all the FD came out. They all did so good, looks like raining fire. Heres a friend of mines, as you can see it’s so different, also here’s a shot of the other cup on mine.
Not trying to be difficult but I have six AL responsive yo-yos so I pictured them all. You can decide which one to exclude. Listed Chronologically in order of purchase.
Gamer Lite
El Mijo 6061
Confusion
Moonshine
Origen
RBC
Could be my top5 as well, id just prefer the usual MC instead.
This has been the rotation the last few months.
Wave, nickel Parlay, sudo, Asora, and nickel Slappa. I could live pretty happily if I reduced my collection to just these 5 haha.
That Patina is coming along nicely @jakebullock
@Exmime I cheated for that patina lol. I experimented with various acid etching solutions to speed up the patina process as I plan on releasing some super grubby nickel waves in the future. I overdid it a bit on the Slappa and ate down to the aluminum in parts, which is why the outer rims are “polished” with some steel wool to make it look intentional haha.
I’ve been a bit of a performance kick since witnessing the insane talent at WYYC. Here’s my current top 5 most picked up and their respective setups. I have the OG clear pads in all One Drops and have been using C3 Pro String (fat). The FB has Mouse Pads (or is it Hollywood pads now?):
Rev 1 + center trac
Panorama + OD flat bearing and flat SE’s
Legendary Terrarian + OT concave and UL’s
First Base + NSK gold concave
Top Deck + center trac
I see the first base has snuck back in the top 5. I love the dino first bases.
Best $20 yoyo ever.
For sure. I been using mine alot recently. The only issue I have with mine is my binds slip sometimes, I been meaning to ultra grey it. It’s weird cause Tyler doesn’t seem to have any issues with binds slipping in his tutorials he uses with it.
